Here's a few examples for you.
Hopefully these are "real life experiences" we can all learn something from.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer says one of the deputies wounded in the shootout at the Port Orchard Walmart was so focused on giving first aid to his partner that he didn't realize how badly he had been hit.
The deputies were shot Sunday in a confrontation with 31-year-old Anthony Martinez, of Salt Lake City. Martinez was shot and killed by a third deputy, and a young woman died of a gunshot wound.
One deputy has been released the hospital and the other should be out in a day or two.
Boyer tells KIRO-TV that after he had been shot, one deputy began aiding the more seriously wounded officer. Boyer says he was concentrating so hard that he didn't realize the extent of his own wound.

OTTAWA -- A Canadian man injured in a brazen daytime drug-land assassination in Mexico says he didn't realize he'd been shot until he saw the blood flowing from his wound.
Mike Di Lorenzo told QMI Agency he was vacationing in the town of Mazatlan in the western part of the country when he and his wife decided to stroll down to the shops last Sunday.
The couple were on a busy side street away from the tourist district when they heard gunfire.
"My reaction was to push my wife against the brick wall to protect her," the 69-year-old B.C.- native said over the phone from a hospital in Mazatlan, 1,000 km northwest of Mexico City.
"I didn't think I'd been hit and I thought that (my wife) was fine. Except a few seconds later I realized my leg was injured and I was losing a lot of blood," he said.
Di Lorenzo is now recovering after a successful surgery Tuesday to repair the bone in his calf shattered by the bullet.
Josephina, his wife, said that even days later, she's shaken by the shooting.
"I jump every time I hear a noise. I'm definitely going to go see a psychologist," she said.
Mexican authorities said Wednesday Di Lorenzo and another bystander had been caught in a "settling of accounts" between rival drug gangs. A 25-year-old gang member was killed in the incident.
The city's tourism board has promised to cover the costs of the couple's return travel expenses.

Student shot at West Bladen HS, but didn't realize it until he got on the bus
BLADEN COUNTY, NC (WWAY) -- The Superintendent of Bladen County Schools said one student was shot Tuesday afternoon at West Bladen High School as school was getting out out around 3 p.m.
"It sounded like a firecracker," Greg Killingsworth said. "The young man who was shot rode the bus home, went to his home and his mother brought him back to school, and he was transported from the school to the hospital."
Investigators are questioning two other West Bladen students, who are in custody.
The superintendent said the student was shot in the back, and the bullet is lodged in his kidney. He was airlifted to New Hanover Regional Medical Center Tuesday evening. WWAY was at the hospital when the student was flown in.

EDMONTON — A woman shot outside the River Cree Casino on the Enoch reserve during a burst of gunfire that killed an Edmonton resident two years ago did not realize she had been hit with a bullet.
"I didn't feel pain, I didn't know I was shot. Subconsciously, I guess, my body was telling me to touch my side," Munira Omar testified Tuesday during the Court of Queen's Bench murder trial of Adam Michael Brown, 23, and Alexander Edward Colin Reid, 22.
When she touched her side, Omar felt blood, but didn't realize she had been shot. Omar said she hadn't heard any gunfire.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), we can't all be you, jeremy. We can't all be on the front lines of every major world conflict simultaneously as you apparently are (or were). Some of us learn through the experiences of others. It's called "reading."
Your experiences may be unique or common. I offer my advice on behalf of those in the stories above as well as from my own experiences in law enforcement where I have responded to situations where victims were not aware of their injuries, whether they be gunshot wounds, knife wounds, or broken bones.
We can't all be the baddest mo-fo in the world as I am sure you are.
Good luck to you. I hope you resist your urges to shoot others. And I hope you learn compassion.
